The Great Zhou was connected to the Western Jade Desert, forming a continuous Gobi Desert.

Back in the Jiang Dynasty, the terrain was more gravel desert on this side. Further west, they entered the territory of Xiyu. The gravel gradually became thinner and smaller, until it turned into desert yellow sand, all the way to the Xiyu capital, Ke Ze.

The bog was an oasis in the desert, close to the water source. From afar, it looked like a piece of jade lying quietly in a bundle of yellow silk.

Not only did Ke Ze look like jade, he also seemed to be rich in stone and white jade. For a long time, there had been caravans that traveled between Yu Ke Ze and the capital, bringing back silk and tea from the capital before returning with the stone materials from the Jia Ze city.

When Gao Lang and the others went to Jiang Xiao, they decided to stay with the caravan.

Because the road from the capital to Jiang Hou was filled with dangers, especially after crossing the river, a large area of uninhabited wilderness was not only filled with vicious beasts, but also overflowed with bandits.

And the caravan was used to it, they knew which way to go and which way not to go.

Add to that the fact that the caravan had bodyguards protecting them, and it would be even safer.

But even so, Gao Lang and Jin Xiaolou still decided to go easy on him. The fewer people they brought, the harder it was for them to attract attention.

Furthermore, although Gao Lang was the emperor on the surface, everyone knew that this was similar to exile. No matter if it was the empress or the Prince Xian, it was better to take action on the way to Jiang Huai. Bringing a few people along would save a lot of people from danger.

After Lv Yun coaxed the Lin'er to sleep, just as he was about to pack his bags, the Attendant reported to the front door that she had received a letter with her name written on it.

After opening the letter and looking through it for a while, Lv Yun rushed back to the Bi Wu Hall.

Upon entering the room, seeing that there was no one else other than Jin Xiaolou, Lv Yun closed the door and walked forward: ”Innkeeper, we just received the news, someone bought two bodyguards from the caravan and intended to make a move on us in the Panther Forest.”

Jin Xiaolou had already expected that someone would take action, but she never expected that before they even left the house, they already received the news.

”How?” Jin Xiaolou asked leisurely.

”It's our informant for takeout.” Lv Yun returned, ”In the recent few days, my Linlang Workshop has been receiving a list of items to send to the Magnificent Cloud Inn. The informant who sent us out suspected that the owner of the inn was trying to secretly learn the sweet water style in our inn. After delivering the food, he hid outside the door to listen in, and never would we have thought that the owner of the inn would spend a lot of money to bribe two sturdy men into attacking the Seventh Prince in the Leopard Forest. ”

”When we heard about the Seventh Prince, that snitch did not dare to be careless, so we followed the two men back to the powerful escort company. From the looks of it, the two are bodyguards from the escort company. Once we inquire further, we will easily find out. The two of them will travel westward with our caravan. ”

Jin Xiaolou nodded, she already had an idea in her mind.

The Queen and Fifth Prince's methods would not be so low. Jin Xiaotao was the only one staying in the tavern and had plenty of sweet water.

In this era where there were no mobile phones, no computers, and no internet, the most powerful network was formed by people.

Jin Xiaolou still wanted to make this net even wider. She had just finished weaving it, how could she give it up?

”Lv Yun, I've thought about it.” Jin Xiaolou opened her mouth, ”We need you to stay in the capital.”

”What?” Lv Yun was shocked, why were they talking about the safety of the Seventh Prince and the shopkeeper just now? In the blink of an eye, they had allowed herself to remain in the capital, ”No, storekeeper, this journey is extremely dangerous, I have to stay by your side and protect you and the Lin'er.”

Jin Xiaolou shook her head with a smile, stood up, walked forward, and held both of Lv Yun's hands: ”These few days, you have taken care of both of our businesses very well. If you were to come with me and leave the capital, then all the hard work we spent on our industry would have all been wasted.”

”But …” Lv Yun held Jin Xiaolou's hand instead, ”I heard that those people over there have tall and big stature and a rough temperament. I don't know how long it will take for them to return, but I … I want to be with you! ”

”Idiot Lv Yun, you are also with us in the capital.” Jin Xiaolou said as her eyes darkened, ”You burrowed your roots deep into every inch of land in the capital here, transmitting important news to us who are far away.”

”As long as you are here, no matter how far we go, we will have a way to return.”

As Jin Xiaolou's voice fell, Lv Yun's eyes were already filled with tears: ”Shopkeeper, Lv Yun will definitely not disappoint you.”

Jin Xiaolou believed that Lv Yun would keep what she said to herself, and only exhorted him, ”The Emperor's funeral was held for three years. During this three years, it is strictly forbidden for the Emperor to enjoy himself, and luckily our lady had already been sent out.

Lv Yun kept nodding her head: ”Shopkeeper can be at ease, the first thing that a spy who enters our shop has to do with knowing Gui Qi's portrait, as long as there is any news of Gui Qi, I will immediately inform Shopkeeper about it!”

After finishing her business, Lv Yun gently caressed Jin Xiaolou's stomach. She raised her eyes and said with teary eyes, ”I can't see this little guy coming to life, I just want him to be as obedient as Lin'er and as smart as Lin'er.”

Jin Xiaolou also held out her hands: ”Even if he doesn't meet with you, we will let him know that there's a Aunt Lv Yun waiting for him in the capital.”
